Self-Consistent Thermal-Aware Hierarchical Power/Ground Networks Optimization

چکیده
With the growing power density and heat-dissipation cost of modern VLSI designs, thermal and power integrity quickly become serious concerns. Although the impacts of thermal effects on transistor and interconnects performance are relatively well-known, the interactions between power-delivery and thermal are not clear. As a result, power-delivery design without thermal consideration may cause soft-error, reliability degradation, and even premature chip failures. In this paper, we propose self-consistent thermal-aware hierarchical power-delivery optimization. By simultaneously considering thermal and power integrity, we are able to achieve high power supply quality and thermal reliability. Furthermore, to deal with the large scale power-delivery optimization issue, we propose hierarchical optimization which effectively reduce the runtime and memory consumptions. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and optimality of our approach to produce high quality self-consistent power-delivery solution for chip-level optimization tasks.

Power-Delivery Networks Optimization with Thermal Reliability Integrity
With the growing power consumption in modern high performance VLSI designs, nonuniform temperature distribution and limited heat-conduction capability have caused thermal induced performance and reliability degradation. Electromigration is the main reliability concern and will become a more limiting factor of IC designs. It must be addressed together with a thermal reliability modeling. This is...

Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANETs) are composed of mobile stations communicating through wireless links, without any fixed backbone support. In these networks, limited power energy supply, and frequent topology changes caused by node mobility, makes their routing a challenging problem. TORA is one of the routing protocols that successfully copes with the nodes’ mobility side effects, but it do...
